With a focus
on the Learning aspect of Language,
Literacy, and Learning, I am going to begin a series of posts on children’s
ability, with our support, to become confident and successful learners. Becoming a learner begins in infancy. So these early posts will focus on Birth to 5. Later posts will focus on learning in K-3. There are a number of ways we can describe
the learning to learn process, for example: self-regulation, executive
function, metacognition. Here is a place
to begin with a focus on self-regulation.

“This brief provides a framework for
understanding self-regulation and its development in an ecological-biological
development context. It is derived from a larger report on work conducted by
the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy for the Administration for Children
and Families. …..” 7 Principles of Self-Regulation….
Some current
research:
“Current Gaps and
Future Directions for Self-Regulation Intervention Research In the process of developing a
series of reports and briefs based in existing theory and research on toxic
stress, self-regulation, and self-regulation interventions, a number of gaps in
the existing knowledge base were identified. Research shows the value of
interventions to strengthen self-regulation, yet there are many unanswered questions.
This brief addresses key gaps in interventions and intervention research
examined in a recent literature review. In addition, the brief highlights work
needed in intervention design and development to enhance programs intended to
strengthen self-regulation, particularly those that serve vulnerable children
and youth. We expect that this brief will be of greatest interest to prevention
scientists, funders, and policy-makers.”
